Discover the Secrets of Alchemy in the Wild Machine Slot From Pragmatic Play!
Videoslots Casino has just added the latest alchemy themed slot from Pragmatic Play titled The Wild Machine which is an unusual 5×5 reel slot with 40 paylines, along with the regular reels there are also extra small reels to the sides and top that can be randomly activated in the base game by the professor creating a diamond-shaped reel set which can then create 7 of a kind wins which pay considerably more than the regular 5 of a kind wins.
The main bonus feature is triggered by landing 3 scatters on the middle reels which then takes you to a bonus wheel were a variety of stake based cash prizes can be won (multiple if lucky) or you can trigger the main free spins options.
The bonus round does seem to trigger quite frequently but expect to win the stake-based prizes several times in between triggering the free spins round. If you do manage to trigger the free spins option you then have to choose between a wilds reels option or sticky wild option.
in our playtests both are capable of producing very nice wins, the sticky wilds option is much more volatile as this is also played on the diamond-shaped reel set which allows 7 of a kind wins but is very dependant on landing multiple sticky wilds early in the bonus as you do only get 5 free spins with this feature.
Certainly, you will need a lot of patience to play this slot as whilst triggering the bonus wheel is quite frequent you need to be persistent to see both the free spins options.
If you want more consistent bonus rounds opt for the Wild Reels option, if you want maximum volatility and win potential take the Sticky Wilds free spins.

Overall Opinions
The Wild Machine slot from Pragmatic Play is a very interesting new slot release that offers some new and unusual features particularly the expanded 7 reels and biggers wins that this offers when activated, the main bonus round does trigger fairly regularly although you definitely need a lot of patience to understand that you won’t be triggering the free spins on every trigger!
The multiple cash awards that can be won from this feature is a nice little touch, but the slots true potential lies in the free spins bonus rounds. We tested both options and had more consistent wins from wild reels option, the sticky wild free spins is very volatile since you only have 5 free spins but with the 7 of a kind wins this can pay way more thanks to the 7 of a kind potential.
Overall a fun slot worth playing, but the bonus wheel can be very frustrating if you keep only winning the stake based cash prizes from it.
